Hi
I have recenty installed and configurated ssh to tunnel x. But I need a way to connect to it on a school computer and every other type of computer where I cant install softwares. The windows computers in school are all part of some sort of thin clients /server solution. And I cant post stuff on the desctop I can't reach the harddrives or any thing like that. I got a network share where I might be able to put stuff. Also I can't use a usb stick and start to software from there. So is there a possible way to ssh tunnel x to one of these computers?

Use Putty on the windows machine. It's a simple .exe which doesn't need to be installed anywhere.

There are plenty of 'how to' guides for using Putty to access an ssh server and setting up and using tunnels.

etc. etc.
It'll do what you want. I use the same to get from XP at work to home, and we have similar restrictions at work. Even better - by using x11vnc on Arch and then vncviewer on XP (also a simple .exe) I am able to bring up my Arch desktop as a remote desktop on my XP setup.
The one thing I haven't worked out yet is how to copy files from my Arch machine to XP at work, since I am unable to setup an ssh server at work - although I can now email them to myself using the remote desktop!

Yea the thing is that no one of them shows how to get x11 forwarded to the restricted pc. I know that vnc can solve it but i prefer other options then
vnc. Maybe a stand alone .exe whit putty + x11 for windows.
If there exists any :S
